Sabedoria
A sabedoria é um dos temas mais ricos da Bíblia. O temor do Senhor é seu princípio, e buscá-la vale mais que ouro ou prata. Deus promete dar sabedoria generosamente a quem pedir com fé.

neither they shall be had in mind in comparison thereof. Forsooth wisdom is drawn out of privy things;

Therefore whereof cometh wisdom, and which is the place of understanding?
It is hid from the eyes of all living men; and also it is hid from the birds of heaven, or of the air.
